Blur and the Theta really don't go together well except on the flattened image. (FYI this image is the linked image from Flickr. Flickr knows it is a spherical image and displays it as one, while PF is not set up to recognize spherical images.) I'm actually seeing if the Theta is useful for work. The idea here was to document a space in one shot (as opposed to 10 to 20) and as a snapshot on time of it's current condition. For general information it's good but since they are not high res images there's a limit to how far one can zoom in to inspect the image and get a detailed view.
